Following the aesthetics glitter of Random Access Memories, the musicians show a second time with the Get Lucky team, alongside Nile Rodgers and Pharrell Williams, but this time into the center of an euphoric public (already present in the video teaser for their remix). Heroes play their instruments (guitar, bass and Delta Digital DX500T) atop a large podium as they have done before in the Robot Rock clip. Filmed indoors, it gives the illusion of a futuristic club straight out of the imagination of Ridley Scott, at the « Alien » time. Added to this crowd, camera movements evoking « Around the World » (directed by Michel Gondry) and the atmosphere from the ‘sexy’ clip of Sebastien Tellier with his track ‘Cochon Ville‘ (directed by Alexandre Courtes, designer of their ‘Discovery’ helmets).

Mister Fu, who takes care of the visual world of the french robots since the direction of the Derezzed video, until all regarding the visual universe of RAM. But it was his talent as an illustrator that is especially visible because, after the cover of the album, he has created a phenomenal poster for the second single LYTD. Undoubtedly inspired by the style of Drew Struzan, a big legend in the world of painting for cinema, who having created the official posters of ‘Star Wars’, ‘Indiana Jones’, ‘Back to the Future’ and many others. Note that Cedric Hervet accompanies him for all his achievements for Daft Punk. A very good work!
